The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Umm, good morning , partner, and thanks for proving my point. Show me where I ever said or implied thus, ''The point is, just because Buffett has called for greater transparency in certain situations doesn't mean he has to tell you anything and everything you want to know about him and what he does regardless of the topic.''. You, are being a loyal enabler , and making it up as you go along. First, I'll remind you that no one has posted more love, respect, and gratitude to Buffett and Munger than me. For over 30 years they worked worked for us virtually free. No options, no free stock, no real cash compensation, that's why I own the stock for over 20 years. Presumably once B and M pass, TandT will be managing 30,40,50 billion of partners money, our money. Therefore, to celebrate their ten years with brk, I have an obvious question, how have they done? What's their average holding period? How many short term trades have they made? Knowing Buffett , my guess is he's bringing kind, and non confrontational, because that's who he is. I have no further interest in their opinion of crypto , who Buffett is doing due dili on, where they are exploring for potential use of capital, or their love life, follow? I'm asking a specific question, and you are running wild with the question, par for the course, for brk loyalists. Despite being beneficiaries of the Buffett bounce, I have a hunch the ten year performance of tandt has not been kind. I'm sure they are hard working, brilliant , honest guys, but I suspect Buffett has been proven correct, again. Even with an edge, it's very hard to beat spy over ten year periods. Have a grand day.
